A child safety seat for use in a vehicle, comprises a base member (10) adapted to rest on a vehicle seat and having an upwardly extending back portion (22, 24) adapted to abut against the backrest of the vehicle seat. A guide formation (62) on the base member defines a second strap path for a vehicle seat belt shoulder strap. A seat assembly (12) is pivotally mounted on the base member (10) for angular movement between a position of normal use and a forward position further from said strap paths. A strap-deflecting lever (66) is pivotally mounted on the base member (10) adjacent to the third guide formation (62) for angular movement from a first position clear of said first strap path to a second position in which a strap (52) following said first strap path is deflected therefrom.
